KCC‐1 aminopropyl‐functionalized supported on iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles as a novel magnetic nanocatalyst for the green and efficient synthesis of sulfonamide derivatives

Abstract

A new magnetic nanocatalyst (Fe 3 O 4 @KCC‐1‐npr‐NH 2 ) was synthesized directly through the reaction of Fe 3 O 4 @KCC‐1 with (3‐aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) using a hydrothermal protocol. Prepared nanocomposite was used as a magnetically reusable nanocatalyst for an efficient synthesis of a broad range of sulfonamide derivatives in water as a green solvent at room temperature and the products are collected by filtration with excellent yields (85–97%). The nanocatalyst could be remarkably recovered and reused after ten times without any significant decrease in activity. This mild and simple synthesis method offers some advantages including short reaction time, high yield and simple work‐up procedure.
